So the question is would any of us be willing to head up to 35,000, crank her
up to mach .76 and get out the Glock and let loose a few rounds??

Also suppose the bullet hits some wiring or hydraulics or fuel line, etc.


Not me.

I woudln't do it in a *car* either, though. It comes under the
heading of "negligible risk, *zero* gain" -- so why risk it?

I think you've missed the point. It was to say to Cambell "how
confident are you with mythbsuters conclusion?" "will you bet
your life on it?"


Shooting through the wall between windows pretty much guarantees I
won't hit hydraulics, fuel line, etc.

See my other post.
